Book Reviews of Peace Tales
Book Review: A precious book!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Margaret Read MacDonald has compiled a treasure of beautiful folk tales in this book. She describes them best in her Note to Storytellers and Discussion Leaders," In seeking material for this book I looked for tales which showed a way to achieve peace. Facile stories suggesting we all simply join hands...didn't interest me."
These stories have action and humor, and though most of the characters are animals they certainly have more than a healthy helping of human nature. They will appeal to a wide variety of children. The very young will enjoy simply hearing these tales of conflict and conflict resolution, while older chidren will be able to discuss the implications of character's choices.
MacDonald has documented these tales in beautiful, conversational language. I recommend telling these stories orally if you have even the smallest vein of theatrics in you. It is how their magic is worked best. However, if the idea of oral storytelling is too intimidating, you can read straight from the pages of this book.
Very Highly Recommended!
